Recent immigrant Christians from India are changing the face of
American Christianity. They introduce ancient Catholic Oriental
rites, St. Thomas orthodoxy, the fruits of modern Protestant
missions, and the outpouring of Pentecostal revivals. This book is
the first comprehensive study of these Christians, their churches,
and their adaptation. Professor Williams describes migration
patterns since 1965 and the growth of Indian Christian churches in
the United States. The role of Christian nurses in creating
immigration opportunities for their families affects gender
relations, transition of generations, interpretations of migration,
Indian Christian family values, and types of leadership.
Contemporary mobility and rapid communication create new
transnational religious groups. Williams reveals some of the
reverse effects on churches and institutions in India. He notes
some successes and failures of mediating institutions in the United
States - seminaries, denominational judicatories, ecumenical
agencies, and interfaith organizations - in responding to new forms
of Christianity brought by immigrants.
